I like the exteriors too. That is, the modesty of the exteriors. It a low rambler that doesn’t compete for attention.

I absolutely love it. It looks very similar to a hotel we once stayed in in Tallinn, Estonia. Very simple, uncluttered, and felt ancient yet modern. My favorite part of the hotel you’ve featured is those fabulous lights – I would gladly use those in my house — I wonder where they’re from? So beautiful! And magical!

Vicki, you are absolutely right about the cleaning on exposed brick. It collects dust, and you’d have to vacuum walls. What’s worse is the brick gradually crumbles. The best solution we’ve found is putting a thin layer of finish like varnish over everything. Your train of thought is just like mine!

I love the serene colors and lack of fussiness. This is how think, what do you do to clean exposed brick, just vacuum it? Is it more prone to spiders and webs?

I’m in love with the lighting! It’s so simple but so cute! I love the exposed brick as well.
